Hurricane Harvey Relief

Here are some ways and places you can help with donations for the relief effort due to Hurricane Harvey:

– Washington County : Multiple locations collecting goods. PLEASE LABEL everything that you donate, to save the people who unload precious time and effort. Please tie together all shoes so they don’t get separated. Do not overpack large boxes. Consider that it will be individual people unloading trucks on the other end. Soft goods are fine in trash bags, but be sure to label them. (Put a tag on bags, or write on tape stuck onto bags.) Items such as: toiletries, bottled water, towels, trash bags, soap, blankets, diapers, unscented baby wipes, formula, non-perishable food items, etc.
